Two Things the south should Do.

Two Things the south should Do.
AS the prosperity OF the South increases
there are TWO things that each Southern
state ought to do. One is to make some
provision for disabled Confederate vet
Grams and the other is to provide for keep
ing in proper condition the cemeteries of
the Confederate dead.
Two States, Georgia and Alabama, have
made some provision for Confederate vet
Grams VINO received such injury while in
service as not to be able to earn a living,
and the people Of these States bear WILL
ingly the additional burden OF taxation
which this legislation imposes upon
them. Indeed, it is probable that they
would bear, without complaint, much
heavier burden for the same purpose if
the Legislatures of their respective
States deemed 1t necessary that they
should do SO,
The Confederate cemeteries have been
neglected altogether too long. The longer
they are neglected the less likely is it
that anything will be done for their i'm
proyement. SO absorbed will the people
become, as they grow more prosperous,
in ambitious and money-makIng schemes,
that they will forget the duty they owe
to the memory of those who sacrificed
their lives for the cause in which the
South was so deeply interested.
1t may be all well enough to build mon
uments to those of the dead Confederates
who won a place in history, but before
that is done bread should be furnished TO
the living Confederates whose wounds
are such as to make it impossible to earn

under sentence Of death for kffiihg her
Nsband, were not executed. There Is a
Neroadecded feeling throughout that State
agSSfs.Shanging her. 1t is based upon
two reasons. One is that the murdered
man deserved his fate, he having been
most brutal husband; and the other is
that no woman should be hung. The
Governor has refused to commute Mrs.
Druse's sentence to Imprisonment for
life, and has referred her application for
Communication to the Legislature. That
hearing is pretty evident. One of
the Senators has already written
a strong letter against hanging. He
wants electricity substituted for the gal
lows. He says that the objection to the
present method OF inflicting the death
penalty is that it is primitive in its
origin and brutalizing in its effects.
tie declares that it is "and abhorrent to
the humane nature OF mankind"
r~2th by electricity is instantaneous
anyPainless. Condemned murderers
to0df-Sse executed By means Of it quickly
and without the formality and publicity
which now attend executions. The
Senator above referred to says that the
executions could take place in "a room
set apart for the purpose, with no appli-
ances save that of char, with the hand
rest of each arm properly connected with
an electric machine. In the chair the con-
demned might be seated, and the connec-
ton might be made by strapping a hand
to the hand rest OF each arm of the chair"
This appears like very decent method
OF putting condemned murderers out OF
the way. II 1t were adopted there would
not probably be any sentiment against
executing<SQmen convicted OF murder.

The fact that several hundred
photographs of nude Boston girls
have been seized by the police of
the Hub and lugged into Court, is
Just now what is convulsing Boston
society until it rocks like tug boat
in a cyclone. About every high
toned family in Boston is represent
ed in the unique collection. The
whole thing arises from stuffing
Greek and Latin into the Boston
girls head. The old neurological
fables and classical steamboats,
about Venus, Niobe, Pandion, En-
dymion. Diana, Aspasia and the
balance of the early bellies, have
turned the Boston girls head
They got an idea that it would
be . good scheme to assume the
lack of costume Of the old days of
gods and goddssses and show by
the aid Of the camera that Boston
girls figure was q good deal more
classical in outline than any jot
turned out by Praxeltes. The re
suit was that lot of spindle-shank'
ed, hollow-fianked, DISTINGUISHED
women of cultured Boston have
been posing, minus their clothes,
before the photographer in the
various attitudes assumed by the
famous statuary of the world. AL
who have seen the photos agree
that the Boston girl is a long way
below the mark and that she mus
come West and feed up. before she
tries the statuary business an,
more.

STAN LEY.

The rumor comes from Africa
that Stanley the famous journalist
and explorerer has been killed.
Stanley geined more fame by his
newspaper work, than perhaps any
other man in his profession. He
was sent ont by the New York Her
aid to find Livingston and accom-
plished task that had baffied the
English Government From hum
BILE beginning he rosa above all his
competitors, and hob-nobbed with
Kings.
His pluck, energy and courage
carried him above all obstacles
and in the following of his reporter
ial profession he penetrated the
heart of Africa, took hanr u
thirty-two battles in some OF whlcf
he commanded. and now he is dead
dying with his harness on. He vii
pass down to history as one OF the
great explorers OF the world.

HANDS OFF.

The Graphic expresses the opin-
ion that there was more in kaia-
kaua's threat to place himselfunde
the protection of British war-ships
than appears on the surface. 1t
says: "Kap,olani easily raised a
large loan in England, thereby CIV
ing that country a second mortgage
upon Hawaii. The United States,
however, cannot afford to let any
European power entrench itself
there. Hawaii comes within the
scope of the Monroe Doctrine as
much as any bit Of American soil.
If under the protectorate of Eng
land or Germany or Russia, Homo
lulu would be a perpetual bone OF
contention, and would be a con-
slant menace to Uncle Sans conn.,
merce on the Pacific Coast. The
Old World powers must keep their
hands off,"
According to the APPEALS idea
the proper caper for Uncle
Sam would have been to have ten
dered the Queen of the Islands an
escort of big man-of-war, and
when the ship got there and found
q revolution it could have posed rs
the protector of the King, and
made him deed the whole works to
the U. s., in return for Uncle SANS
keeping the mob off his palace
We could have snatched the whole
Kingdom and shuffied the pack fol
a new deal before England got bel
fins in.

a scrap 81 Tartar Histcry.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle.
This remarkable workmanship Of the
Tartars is proverbial. Their favorite
weapon is a long, curved cimetar. quite
different from That Of the Turks. It is
made OF the finest steel, richly alleged
with silver, and q sword becomes In
heirloom in q family and decends TO the
first born so long as the family exists
When the last representative Of a race
dies his sword, which may have come
down to him from q hundred genera
tons, is broken and buried Win hiias
The blades Of the weapon, which arc
beaten out on an onyx stone anvil in the
ancient Mogul city OF T~aztchintzy fhe
Holy place., are very thin, and the Won
derful feats performed with them are
astonishing. Once when Robo, the
cousin of the Great Mogul, was caught
in a rebellion, his execution was order
ed. The most skillful workmanship e.
the empire was provided for the behead-
ing, and the Great MoguI and his court
assembled to see it. For a second the
keen Tartar blade aashed ia the sun
light and then descended upon the
bare neck 81 Ro6o, who stood upright
to receive the stroke. The sharp steel
passed through the vertebr@. muscles
and organs of:5he neck, but so swift was
the blow and so keen the blade that the
head did not fall bit kept its exact
position and not q vit6I organ was dis
turbed. In surprise the Great Mcgul
exclaimed: "What, Robo, art thou not
beheaded?" MY lord, I am, replied
Robo, "but so long as ! keep my bRl-
ance right my head viii not fall of. =
The Great Mogul was so pleased with
the dizziness of the executioner that ha
ordered d bandage 10 be tied on, and
Robo speedily recovered. He afterward
became a loyal subject, and was made
cashier, OF the empire, because d the
Great Mogul remarked, @He knows
that if he keeps his balance right his
head will not come off, It is one Of
those curious scraps Of history that axe
offen overlooked.

summer in the Far North.

When we reached St. Michael's the
weather was very snltry and close,
The hills and lowlands we're covered
with an emerald-green carpet of moss.
plentifully sprinkled with bright-hued
flowers. The familiar buttercup and
blossoms of wild BURBERRY, with the
dainty pink flower OF the arctic sal,
mon berry, stud the heavy bed oI
splagnum. Mosquitoes innumerable
assail a visitor az he lands on tho
shore, and their bites are vicious.
The dogs lie painting before the tents
of their owners, resting easily until a
strange canine intrudes, and then
spring upon him with a fury that
seems utterly at variance with their
former torpidity. At st. Michael's in
the summer the natives gather from
all parts OF Norton sound, and the
Upper Yukon Indians, termed In.
galiks, come on the trading steamers
as crews to assist in navigating the
barge. One of the peculiarities of an
arctic summer consists in the utter
absence of darkness, and the natives
do not appear to utilize any consid.
cradle portion OF time in sleep. At
st. Micnaels and Port Carence we
saw them talking and playing at all
hours.

One Wing ofthe Chinese Army.
With these troops also bows and
arrows are the favorits weapons, though
d small proportion Of the army carry
Imatchlocks. Six times q month they
practice archery on foos, and every
spring and summer, dressed in armor
they go through the same exercise on
horseback. This division furnishes q
guard Of two men at each gate of the
forbidden city, whose duty is to sit
holding q red bar across the gateway,
and who rise only to princes Of the
blood. It also supplies the night pa
irons within the forbidden city, who
allow no one either to enter or leave
the precincts unless he be the bearer Of
half q broken token which, when fitted
with the corresponding portion in
possession Of the officer on duty match
es exactly. The Eight division" as its
mama Indicates Is asnaciallY intended
for service requiring strength and &C.
tivity. The men are drilled six times
d month with the scaling ladder, when
they also fire three volleys with the
matchbox; six times they wrestle and
perform feats of horsemanship, one
rider leaping on the back Of another's
horse, put at a gallop, while the rider
of the latter similarly exchange his seat
at the same moment. While mounted
they likewise fire three rounds with the
matchbox, shoot three flights Of arrows.
and attack und defend with the sword
and iron whip and fail. They
have, besides, six trials monthly in
horse and foot archery, and twice ayear,
for twelve days at q time, practice at q
mark with q matchbox; each marks
man takes FIVE shots each day, andis
rewarded or punished according as his
varied success places him in one of the
three classes of proficiency" This is
the kind of military exercise which
particularly delights the Chinese mind.
Such exhibitions Of agility as somer-
saults and leaps are to their thinking,
inexpressibly terrifying to the enemy,
and when accompanied by shouts and
cries cannot fail, they consider, to
spread dismay in the opposing ranks.
The shout of battle" has, through all
time, been recognized as a power in the
fight; but the "buxom valor" whose
grace is only in the heels" which is
displayed by Chinese soldiers, can only
inspire contempt among any troops
but such as are even on a lower level of
ineficiency than Chinese warriors. As
Corporal Trim says, zone good thrust
with tho bayonet Is worth them ALL

Lost a Bride by Gambling.

The British steamer Stanton, which
sailed from Camden on Tuesday of last
week for Lisbon, Portugal, carried away
with her sandy haired youth, Caleb Sum
ner by name, who has been working for
James IIelmsley on a farm about two miles
out Of Swedesboro, on the road to Woods
town. Sumner was to have been married
next week in the Methodist church at
Swedesboro, but the wedding has of ne
cessity been postponed. He was engaged
to marry Susan Helmsley, the daughter of
Farmer llelmsley, rosy, plump little girl
of eic hteen. For three years he had paid
court to this fair country damsel, and dur
ing that time he pincheC and saved in every
way in order that he might have enough
to start married life with when his loved
one turned eighteen. About month ago
lie counted over his funds, which he had
carefully slowed away in bis rawhide
trunk, and they amounted to $500. At this
time there was a Philadelphian visiting
friends in Swedesboro, and with him sum-
ner became quite intimate. HIS nan was
Curtis, who is employed in Third street
broker Office. Curtis learned of Sumner
little hoard of cash, and he was anxious
for him to double it before he got married
''If you invest il in the stock market, he
said, according to my instructions, you
can make $500 TO $1,000 more with it.
Sumner agreed and Curtis bought 100 Cot
ton Seed Oil Certificates at 81, being con-
WINGED, he said that they would sell up to
65 at least in the course of week. The
next day came the news of the formation
of a rival company, and the price of the
certificates dropped suddenly, Sumner 5
money had vanished. Torn with despair,
he went to Philadelphia, and could not
bring himself to face his bride again.

The first election of Road Oyerseers by
Districts. was held on Thursday Of last
week. The contests in some of the Dis
tricts were exciting and close, majorities
in some cases being very small. The
amount of electioneering and pipe-laying
done by candidates for these offices would
have done honor to a gubernatorial con-
test. The following is the result of the
election. District No. 1. no election held,
this being Woodstown Borough, and the
roads being in charge of the Council, the
overseer having no duties beyond opening
new roads that may be laid out by Survey
ors of the Highways; No. ., Christopher
Harbeson; No. 3, Samuel Locuson; No.
4, Henry Yanmeter; No. 3, John ,.
Coleman; No. 6, Jos. n. Reeve; No 7,
Daniel Murphy: No. 8, Gideon Crispin.
popularity of these elections is that in
some cases persons whose actual residence
is within the lines of one district are voters
in the adjoining district, the districts be-
ing divided not with respect to territory,
but with respect to the roads-certain
roads making up district and a mans
voting residence being determined by the
road into which his property opens, though
his honse may be actually on the other
side of the imaginary linc dividing the
districts.
Each road overseer has been furnished
by the township committee with good
sized map of his district showing all the
roads under his charge.

A Fissic Encounter.

Last Saturday afternoon A young White
man living on farm near Woodstown,
visited the Borough, ard after partaking
of some of the liquid perdition which the
town affords, became possessed with the
idea that his mission was to cxterminate
the African race, and he proceeded to de-
vote himself to the task by commencing
on three young colored men who were also
in from the country, hailing from the some
what extensive and indefinite locality
known as Bushtown An adjournment
was had to the railroad station, and a little
preliminary skirmsh resulted in the cut
ting of the lip of one of the Bushtown trio
and a temporary truce, the interval of
which was occupied by the white man in
parading up and down the platform and
proclaiming his ability to lick all the mig
gers in Salem county, and inviting the
trio TO walk into him singly or in bulk, as
it suited them. This was born patiently
for awhile, but presently the Bushtowners
concluded to oblige him, and the biggest
one of the party stripped for the combat,
while the white man as quickly Invested
himself of his outer garments and bloody
fight was looked for, but it ended in mouth,
until the smallest of the Africans took up
the quarrel, which then resulted in the
braggart receiving well deserved thresh-
ing, marquis of Blackberry rules. p"
There were number Of spectators of the
affrav, and the unanimous verdict was that
it served the young man exactly right.
